Public Instance Methods

escape(string) Show source
# File lib/cgi/util.rb, line 12
def escape(string)
  encoding = string.encoding
  string.b.gsub(/([^ a-zA-Z0-9_.\-~]+)/) do |m|
    '%' + m.unpack('H2' * m.bytesize).join('%').upcase
  end.tr(' ', '+').force_encoding(encoding)
end

URL-encode a string.

url_encoded_string = CGI.escape("'Stop!' said Fred")
   # => "%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred"
escapeElement(string, *elements) Show source
# File lib/cgi/util.rb, line 140
def escapeElement(string, *elements)
  elements = elements[0] if elements[0].kind_of?(Array)
  unless elements.empty?
    string.gsub(/<\/?(?:#{elements.join("|")})(?!\w)(?:.|\n)*?>/i) do
      CGI.escapeHTML($&)
    end
  else
    string
  end
end

Escape only the tags of certain HTML elements in string.

Takes an element or elements or array of elements. Each element is specified by the name of the element, without angle brackets. This matches both the start and the end tag of that element. The attribute list of the open tag will also be escaped (for instance, the double-quotes surrounding attribute values).

print CGI.escapeElement('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>', "A", "IMG")
  # "<BR>&lt;A HREF=&quot;url&quot;&gt;&lt;/A&gt"

print CGI.escapeElement('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>', ["A", "IMG"])
  # "<BR>&lt;A HREF=&quot;url&quot;&gt;&lt;/A&gt"
Also aliased as: escape_element

    if enc.dummy?
      origenc = enc
      enc = Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding(enc)
      string = enc ? string.encode(enc) : string.b
    end
    table = Hash[TABLE_FOR_ESCAPE_HTML__.map {|pair|pair.map {|s|s.encode(enc)}}]
    string = string.gsub(/#{"['&\"<>]".encode(enc)}/, table)
    string.encode!(origenc) if origenc
    return string
  end
  string.gsub(/['&\"<>]/, TABLE_FOR_ESCAPE_HTML__)
end

Escape special characters in HTML, namely '&"<>

CGI.escapeHTML('Usage: foo "bar" <baz>')
   # => "Usage: foo &quot;bar&quot; &lt;baz&gt;"
Also aliased as: escape_html, h

Prettify (indent) an HTML string.

string is the HTML string to indent. shift is the indentation unit to use; it defaults to two spaces.

print CGI.pretty("<HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML>")
  # <HTML>
  #   <BODY>
  #   </BODY>
  # </HTML>

print CGI.pretty("<HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML>", "\t")
  # <HTML>
  #         <BODY>
  #         </BODY>
  # </HTML>

                t.hour, t.min, t.sec)
end

Format a Time object as a String using the format specified by RFC 1123.

unescape(string,encoding=@@accept_charset) Show source

    [m.delete('%')].pack('H*')
  end.force_encoding(encoding)
  str.valid_encoding? ? str : str.force_encoding(string.encoding)
end

URL-decode a string with encoding(optional).

string = CGI.unescape("%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred")
   # => "'Stop!' said Fred"
unescapeElement(string, *elements) Show source
# File lib/cgi/util.rb, line 160

  elements = elements[0] if elements[0].kind_of?(Array)
  unless elements.empty?

      unescapeHTML($&)
    end
  else
    string
  end
end

Undo escaping such as that done by CGI.escapeElement()

print CGI.unescapeElement(
        CGI.escapeHTML('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>'), "A", "IMG")
  # "&lt;BR&gt;<A HREF="url"></A>"
